Transparency for recurring donations became an issue during then-U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s unsuccessful January runoff campaign and likely resulted in her issuing millions of dollars in refunds to donors. During that time, Loeffler, former U.S. Sen. David Perdue and former President Donald Trump all sent fundraising appeals that included pre-checked boxes for contributions to repeat on a weekly basis. Until recently, Loeffler's new group, Greater Georgia, also included pre-checked boxes for recurring contributions, this time on a monthly basis. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)
